Enclosure OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN FACILITY OPERTING LICENSE NO. R-74 DOCKET NO. 50-156 The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is continuing the review of your application for renewal of Facility Operating License No. R-74, dated May 9, 2000, as supplemented by letters dated October 17, 2008; June 16, 2010 (two letters); July 8, 2010, and August 11, 2010. During our review of the proposed technical specifications, a question has arisen for which we need additional information and clarification. Please address and provide the requested information to the following:
Proposed TS 3.2.1, Operable Control Rods, allows operation with a minimum of three control elements with scram capability. However, the evaluation in the Safety Analysis Report for the conversion of the reactor from high enriched uranium to low enriched uranium fuel shows that pin power and peaking factors (and the resulting thermal-hydraulic calculations) were determined with the control blades banked. Please provide an analysis that shows that reactor operation is acceptable with control elements allowed by proposed TS 3.2.1.
